How do the classes/courses work?

What is the deadline for an assignment?

There are no real deadlines for each assignment. A student moves through at the pace that is comfortable for them and is in control of test and due dates.

How many courses can I take at a time?

At the LB iLearn Online, our goal is to help you succeed. For this reason, many students take only one course at a time, however, students are allowed to take a maximum of two courses at a time.

How long is each course and how long will it take to complete my program?

This depends on how many credits the course/program is and how quickly a student wants to move through. One credit is equivalent to approximately 30 hours, so an average 3-credit class should take 90 hours to complete. Realistically, this is about one month of work for a full-time student.

When can I start my first class?

With flexible start dates, you can begin your courses any Wednesday of the year once all necessary admission steps are complete.
